Agis Primaris Marines - Raven Guard @ 2017/06/17 07:40:30


Post by: AAN


Finally, the new 40K has arrived! 8th edition looks very promising, hopefully next week I have my 1st game.
I have not really played 40K since 5th edition (really did not like the direction the rules were taking).

I was also very curious about the new Marines. So without any further blah blah, here is my 1st Primaris Marine.

Primaris Intercessor Brother Marine of the the 2nd company, 7th squad.

Right out of the box, only the head is an old Mk VI “Beaky” helmet. There was a lot of talk about head swaps, so I wanted to try it.
The Primaris are great minis, but are rather static, they are not as pose able as the older plastic Space Marine kits. Even the shoulder pads are fixed!

And the always asked for comparison picture:

Tanith Guardsman, Primaris Marine, Grey Knight and Eldar Ulthwe Guardian.

and as always more on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/space_marines.html

Looks great. The grey knight certainly looks puny in comparison.

Yup, suddenly Space Marines have the size that was always described in the fiction.

Thats fantastic! Im painting my primaris marines as blood angels and this is very inspiring! That mk6 helmet works great!

Nice work Agis, and always nice to see a beaky helmet.

Great stuff. I'm pleased to see the older helmet marks fit on Primaris, as I plan on doing a few as upscaled traditional marines.

great work, thank you for the size comparison.
like you said, this is the size that they should have been all along.

I wonder if MK III Shoulder Guards fit on Primaris Space Marine models.

It is good to see the MK VI Helmet works on the giant marine models.

The Blood Angels paint scheme looks 2nd Edition Perfect & Ready! The free hand &/or water slide transfers look great!

Its a starter kit. They are always static in the starter boxes. They will definitely be more flexible in terms of posing once boxes are released.

Shoulder pads would fit, the minis are however more or less static, no separate shoulder pads.
The BA symbol is a transfers out of the box with some dark grey painted in.

And the second one, another minor conversion.
This time I swapped the head for a Blood Angel again, I also added another pouch pack with gold droplet, a droplet to the right shoulder pad and a chalice to his right gauntlet.



And since some asked about a pic with a terminator...

As much as I dislike the Primaris as a concept (not sold on models either), you've done them very well. Cetainly you've actually given them some identiy with very subtle additions from other kits. Much better than the official BA examples which have been seen, those are very plain.

Really curious how the new rules work out.. Christian from Battlefield Berlin sounded really positive. So please share what you think as well !
And heyho - they actually brought the Movement Stat back ! How long has _that_ been ?

Would love to pick up `ye ol`dice for a game or two...fitting as I also I just picked up the paintbrushes after some years of hiatus

3rd Primaris, Ancient with Banner. Another minor conversion. Again a head swap, extra grenades and a wing on the right shoulder pad.
With this model some extra effort was used, hopefully it shows.

Brother Ancient Raguel of the 2nd Company

It's a stunning model. You've done a great job.

I think the new mold looks markedly more to scale when placed near other models as you've done. I like the new weapon design as well.

IMHO, I think GW would have done better to just market these new casts as a complete re-design of the Space Marine lineup. I understand that not everyone is able or willing to repurchase all their models but I would happily buy a few new 10-man squads of these fellows if they came with all the wargear options to be true replacements for my current tactical squads.

Unfortunately GW can't seem to help themselves and I have to wonder how many boys and girls they hired to thumb through the dictionaries and thesauri before settling on 'Primaris'... must have run out of creative uses for the 'Ultra' prefix.

I fully expect over the next years a complete overhaul of the 40K range.
We'll see.

My 1st game was fun today, it is still 40K, but way more streamline than the previous two Editions.
Move values, Saves modifiers - all back and it feels good.
I also like the freedom you have to chose your force, even in matched Play.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your first game. I still remain cautiously optimistic about this entire edition. I like some of the changes and dislike others, time will time if this nets an overall positive or not. They broke an awful lot of eggs to make this particular omelet.

Still, you make a compelling case for these Primaris models with your incredible artwork. Kudos!

Looks awesome, you've definitely given me some ideas for my BA primaris (I got the box last night and haven't really started thinking about them too much yet, need to get my Death Company done first).

I like them with old helmets much better than the new ones. The new ones just look odd to me.

Sprayed Black, then Khorne red from an upped angel.
After that some Mephiston red, bolt gun metal and dark grey.
Nuln Oil wash.
Repeat Mephiston red, bolt gun metal and dark grey.
Edge hughlights in white.

Done!

5th Primaris, Brother Captain Victus. Another conversion.
Again a head swap (BA Tactical Sergeant), sword from a Sanguinary Guard, extra purity seal at wrist,
BA wing on left shoulder pad and the banner. I am happy how the conversion fits together.

That looks seriously good! I don't even mind the helmet hood. Make more sense with a helmetless head instead I guess.
The sword swap is particularly thematic. Great conversion.
How do the normal space marine hands and arms compare to the primaris marines increased scale? It doesn't look too obvious as to any difference in the images.

6th Primaris, Inceptor Brother Sergeant Angelus. Another conversion.
Again a head swap (BA Sanguinary Guard), wings from a Sanguinary Guard, grenade and pouch with blood droplet and BA icon on top of the “hood”.
The hood was also a bit shortened to reduce the cover over the head, basically just to make the Mk VII head more visible.

I am very happy how this all came together.



And just to show how big these fellas are:

HH World Eater, Primaris Inceptor and HH Emperors Children

And a different angle:


More pics as always: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/primaris.html

PS: Positioning of the wings - I put some serious thought in this...

1st off I have to agree, it looks a bit strange.
Then I looked very seriously how the Sanguinary Guard wings are mounted:

After that I put the wings into the same position and rotated them 90° upward.

And that's how it looks then. Every other position was even more awkward...

I like the wings like that too!
And there is even a slight hint at old biblical descriptions of angels having one set of wings just to cover their divine faces.
(edit: I imagine the wing being able to fold and hide the face, and folding back to reveal the angels terrible fury as he charge.)

It is a very angry snarling Black Rage head, that might be the reason for the look

Sure thing.

Based Black, then a layer of sprayed on dark red (IIRC Khorne Blood) .

After that Vallejo Black grey on the pouches, citadel leadbelcher on the metal parts.
Then Nuln Oil wash.
Same again for pouches and metal.
Red armour gets one layer of citadel mephiston red and one layer of evil sunz scarlett mixed with mephiston red.
White edge highlights, done.

To fill up the ranks of my BA Primaris force I contacted Peter of Scars Miniatures again.
As always he did a splendid job.

The guy to the right is from me, the other five are build, converted by me and painted by Peter.

Once painted I slap on the transfers and do some detail work here and there to get the feeling the minis are mine...

More soon.

Primaris Intercessor Brother Marines of the the 2nd company, 3rd squad. Build and converted by me, painted by me and (mostly) by Peter of Scars Minis.



Another angle of the Primaris Intercessor Brother Marines of the the 2nd company, 3rd squad.
I used a Death Company Backpack on the left Marine, a Servo skull on the Auspex Marine.

Primaris Reiver Brother Marine the the 2nd company. Again a small minor conversion.
The backpack, left shoulder pad and the helmet is from the Death Company box. I also painted him in DC colours.
While Primaris are not effected by the Black Curse of the Blood Angels I decided that some Reivers will paint their armour as DC to honour their brothers.


Where the Intercessors are the battle line heavy infantry of the Primaris Astartes, the Reivers are elite assault specialists given special training and wargear.
Reivers are masters of terror tactics, breaking from stealth in a cacophony of Bolter fire, grenade detonations and guttural, Vox-amplified roars.

Fits to DC too! For transfers I used Forge World BA.

Thank you for replying to my email and sending me this link. One thing is for sure these are the best BA Primaris I've seen. Are you working on a Dreadnought or Repulsor next?

I am so jealous! Man those are some excellent PMarines!

The only thing bad about these awesome BAs is how awful they make regular broken marines look in comparison. Even really awesome paint can't hide the stark contrast between old and new marines. Even the terminator is raised up on his base and he still looks like a child next to the BA!

One thing I want to ask is, would you be able to recreate that chalice on a regular marine gauntlet or were you able to do it because of the extra space? I want to steal that idea but I'm not sure how it will work out on a regular marine. How exactly did you paint that chalice of I may ask?

Lovely paintwork as always, but I gotta say the Reivers are the only Primaris models which really leave me cold. I think they were trying too hard or something, but I see them and it does nada...shame as they appear to be pretty decent in the game.

Should work also on a normal SM.
Painting the chalice - GW Gehanna Gold, Agrax earthshade, again Gehanna Gold with more and more mixed in silver.

Shadowspear arrived, time to paint a Vanguard Infiltrator.

And what chapter fits more to the Vanguard than the Raven Guard…

Infiltrator Vanguard Marine of the Raven Guard chapter - build right out of the box, only a Mk VI helmet was used. Decals by Forge World.
I more or less speed painted this one, reading the fluff about the Vanguard, they can be a bit less emblazoned as normal Marines.
So I went for a more "real life" in the field look.

More soon: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/primaris.html (scroll down!)

Infiltrator Vanguard Marine of the Raven Guard chapter - build as above, my 1st try with Black Templar Contrast paint, I LOVE it, really shaves some time off.

They look great. Are the heads just normal MKVI or did you somehow upsize them? I've seen other primaris models with beakies attached and the head always looks too small

My take on the splendid new Mephiston miniature.

"Mephiston, originally named Calistarius, and also called the "Lord of Death," is the Master of the Librarius and the Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter. He is the only member of the Blood Angels or their Successor Chapters known to have defeated the pull of the Black Rage not once, but twice in his life, regaining his sanity both times. He is a Librarian of potent ability, believed to be one of the mightiest psykers in the entire Imperium of Man.
Yet there are whispers that Mephiston paid a dreadful price for his resurrection, that when he mastered the Black Rage something altogether more terrible took its place. It is to be hoped that such rumours are baseless, mere carrion latching onto greatness, but Mephiston keeps his secrets close, and only time will reveal the truth."


IMO he fits very well into my BA Primaris force...

Very nicely done as always. Out of curiosity, why did you choose the pistol hand instead of the face wiping one?

LOL, the wiping blood hand was not fitting, it was either too high and obscuring the face or not aligned to the shoulder...

Was is a bad plastic cast or just a suboptimal 3d design in that regard? I have the model but I haven't opened it and was planning on using the sniffle hand myself as I'm not a fan of the superchunky plasma pistol asthetic primaris have. I suppose I could 3d print an open palm with some force lightning as an alternative.

Honestly not sure, maybe my bad.

And some more!

I finally finished my Inceptor Squad! Again head swaps (BA Sanguinary Guard), wings from a Sanguinary Guard, grenade and pouch with blood droplet etc. The hood was also a bit shortened to reduce the cover over the head, basically just to make the Mk VII head more visible. I am very happy how this all came together.

I know it’s all skill of painting, but I think the wings also help balance out the models. Gorgeous .

As easy as it gets - Retributor gold primer, agrax earthshade.
Highlights in lighter gold and silver on some edges

I went back to 40K after the release of the 9th edition.
Since my Blood Angels still needed some more minis to round them up I painted a Redemptor Easy to build Dreadnought, very nice model and fast paintjob!
No conversion, just a solid paintjob and some BA Heresy era Forge World decals.

A Scibor conversion - a Power Armour Custodes. I recently rebased the mini to the current base size and changed the weapon, shield and backpack (courtesy of Tortuga Bay minis!). I will use it as a 29K Custodes at the very end of the Terra unification war. The other mini is a collaboration of Scibor and me. An old Constantine Valdor sculpt with current weapon and backpack to give this character a more 29K ish feel and look.
